I know I am posting late but I was literally in bed sick at 6:30 : (  My sister came over yesterday and we spent hours playing on my iMac.  We made all these silly videos and took some great pics.  Here are a few...

I hope everyone had a good day today!  I was really nervous about going to work today because I was so sick all weekend and I thought maybe I would just be in the bathroom all day at work which is no good.  I can't believe my birthday is in two days!  I will try to take a "day in the life" pictures that day.  Who knows what will happen.  I have a lot of possibilities as far a celebration but I am not sure if I will be up for anything.  My Mom called today and asked if I wanted to go to lunch and I said maybe because I don't know if I will be able to eat on that day.  I told a bunch of people at work today that I am pregnant.  As the days pass it is easier and easier to say.  I still cant believe it.  If I didn't constantly feel sick I wonder if I would forget (probably not) .  I hear all these women telling me how much they loved being pregnant.  I can't wait to reach that phase.  Don't worry, as soon as I start showing I am going to take a million pictures.  I love my Birthday cause my family is always nice to me on that day.  It was the one day growing up as a kid and I knew I wouldn't get in trouble or yelled at.  I guess even if the nice was fake I was too happy to tell.  Today I started to read a chapter of proverbs a day.  There are 31 chapters in all so if you read a chapter a day you will read the whole book in a month.  I want to do that repeatedly till I can start quoting it.  Today was Proverbs 15.  My favorite verse was: "He that refuses instruction despises his own soul: but he that hears reproof gains understanding" v. 32

I don't really know why I like that one the most out of the whole chapter... I just kept rereading it.  Well stay posted for more updates. 

PS.  I love iChat.  I finally got a new iMac and I have been iChatting with as many people as possible.  If you have iChat let me know and we can totally video chat.

I just realized its April 1st.  My phone died somehow last night so I overslept.  I think I am going to go into work soon.  I just called in for now.  I have been in the habit of getting up extra early ever since my guest came in town so that I can get some alone time.  Sadly work has also been a spot for that.  It is so weird to have someone new living with you.  Even though its not permanent it has really given me a taste of what it would be like to live with another person.  Especially of the opposite sex.  My first roommates when I was younger were girls.  The first guy I ever lived with is Grey.  Even though I had never lived with a guy it was heaven for me.  We just had this hum and flow.  When we were home we couldn't stand not being in the same room as each other.  I will never forget one of the first days I lived with him we were doing dishes and listening to Elvis and it was perfection.  I remember thinking that I had always imagined how love would be and when I finally experienced it... it was a million times better than I could have imagined.  I guess that now that I don't have that is why I am so sad sometimes.  I wonder ....   With my current house guest.. I have told him I would never live with him lol.  It isn't anything against him.  I just don't think it works well.  Yesterday we spent all day watching episode after episode of Red Dwarf (he bought the box set).  It is a freakin good show.  The only thing is that the main character is obsessed with Vindelou (sp?) and it makes me want Indian food sooo bad when I watch it. Even though it has been different to have company.. I am so ready to have my house to myself again.  I see a change coming.  BTW did you know my birthday is April 17th?  I am pretty freaked to turn 24.  Its the first time I have been not so happy to get older.  I know it is pretty young still but I always imagined starting my family in a year or so and I feel like that will never happen now.  I guess if it isn't meant to be.. I just really think I would make a good wife and mother and its one of my goals but if not I am going to become a nun.  I am serious!  There is a third element... Don't be surprised if one do you look at my blog and I have run away to another place and am living a different life all together.
Speaking of which.  A very good friend of mine may be moving soon for personal reasons.  I am sad that she is going but I can't share much about it.  If I was going to leave it wouldn't be in that manner. 

I am going to reread the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy this weekend.  All of the books.  I am super excited.  It has been so many years since I read the books so I can't wait to experience them again.  After that I want to read Surprised by Joy by CS Lewis.  Gosh he is good.  I really love the Great Divorce and Mere Christianity.  If you haven't read the Great Divorce please read it.  I tried to get Grey to read it for so long that I eventually forced him to let me read it to him ever night bit by bit for a while.  The only problem was that he would keep falling asleep on me. 

Last thing for now: 
This day last year my little sister Kathryn (on right) and I

played an April fools joke on Grey that was not as funny to him as we thought he would think it.  We called him and told him that one of my cats (Gretchen the fat one he calls her Kitty Cow) had jumped off the balcony of our condo (when we lived in Carolina Beach).  He called 911 to find out emergency vets and stuff.  He was so upset.  I guess I am such a bad liar I thought he would never believe us.  Now I feel guilty.  At the time though, Kathryn and I were having a major laugh.  I hope that everyone has a great day!

 

Friday was my mom's birthday and we took her to Raleigh to go shopping.  It was quite a feet since it was my mom, 2 sisters, grandma, aunt and me in the car.  Well technically a people carrier (van).  Kathryn and I brought our DS lights and we played hide and go seek in our animal crossing towns.  It was really fun.  While in the mall we got a chance to take a picture of us sisters in one of those photo booths.
